If you have .25" hole or smaller in cast steel, would you mig or tig the hole closed? Or braze it. Need to be able to retap it. I apologies if this is a dumb question.

If its dirty/oily/rusty your better off brazing it with a little flux.

I appreciate the responses. That's what I was thinking, but I was in a rush. We're out of gas for the torch and I don't have any rods. So I use the mig to fill them. I drilled two small holes in my lower triple tree clamp to mount new steering stops. They didn't turn out like I wanted. One was threaded for a m6 bolt and the other was a little bigger than 1/16 diameter. solved
